Answer:

The length of the hypotenuse is
$4√(41)\ in$

Explanation:

we know that

In a right triangle

Applying the Pythagoras Theorem

c^(2)=a^(2)+b^(2)

where

c is the hypotenuse

a,b are the legs of the right triangle

substitute the values

c^(2)=16^(2)+20^(2)

c^(2)=256+400

c^(2)=656

$c=√(656)\ in$

Simplify

$c=4√(41)\ in$
